Encore
Our Encore after-school enrichment program provides an opportunity for creative exploration and expression for a fun and engaging afternoon. Classes are taught by Good Shepherd teachers and outside experts and run the entire semester.
Encore Schedule
Classes are held weekly from 3-4:30 p.m., and follow the GSES Academic Calendar.
Spring Encore classes will begin Monday, Jan. 12.
Parents can register children for standalone Encore classes, or as a supplement to their time in Extended Day. Your child does not need to be in Extended Day to participate in Encore!
Registration for Spring 2026 is open—reserve your student's spot today!
